There’s a big change coming to Downtown Columbus traffic this weekend.

ODOT officials say the brand-new ramp on Interstate 70 eastbound onto Fulton Street is opening, part of a massive project to make your commute safer and smoother.

ODOT spokesman Matt Bruning said it's a major milestone in the massive I-70/71 construction through downtown Columbus.

"The overall reason we did that project was to try to untangle a lot of those weaves through downtown Columbus," Bruning said.

He added that the new, two-lane ramp will act as a main gateway into the downtown area. Northbound drivers on I-71 also will be able to access it.
